• Selling price of one mango=1/36
  New selling price=(1/36)*(108/90)=1/30
  So,for 1₹, he should sell 30 mangoes

• we are given 36 mangoes for a rupee
  so sp of 1 mango=Rs. 1/36
  then we will find cp by the formula sp*100/(100-loss%)
  cp=10/324Rs
  then we will again find the sp by the formula (100+gain%)*cp/100
  then the ans is 30 mangoes for a rupee

• SP of 1 mango=1/36
  CP with 10% loss= 100/(90*36)
  SP with 8% gain= 108/100)*cp=30

• Sp of 1 mango = 1/36
  So with 10%loss = 1/36 *1/90
  =1/36 *1/90*108=1/30

• 1mangoes=1/36
  and seller is getting 10% loss
  therefore 1=1/36*100/90
  the seller should get the profit about 8%
  therefore
  1=1/36*100/90*108/100
  and the ans will be 30

• S.p of 36 mangoes = Rs.1
  S.p of 1 mangoes = Rs.1/36
  loss=10%
  C.p=(100/100-10)*(1/36)
  S.p=100/90*(1/36)*(108/100)
  S.p=1/30
  Therefore S.P of 30 mangoes = Rs.1
  He sells 30 mangoes for a rupee
